Hi guys, Could someone help me out? I get a "network unreachable" whenever I try to connect on the network. I have a 3Com Etherlink card and I once had a network connection successfully connect to another computer but since my new installation I get this error. I tried to recompile my kernel so that I can make sure drivers for my card are available in the kernel but now the system hangs at boot time. I will just select one of the precompiled kernels again but how do I get a network connection? I think I have everything configured right.
Read the NET-3-HOWTO. I had the very same problem and after reading the howto, fixed it in three commands. These are the commands that made it work are: root# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up root# route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 root# route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 If your inet connection is through ppp, omit the last one and use a suitable one for ppp (also in the howto). lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.
